David Cline = High Energy Physicist
. . . and absolutely everything in science was fair game with David’s unique (& prescient) definiLon of high energy physics . . . visionary, creaLve, always looking for something new and making connecLons between what others regarded as totally separate subjects! . . . Generous, especially with students and young physicists . . . very proud of UCLA and UCLA physics
NO BOUNDARIES!
supernovae as laboratories for fundamental neutrino physics
The cosmos (astronomy) as the ulLmate parLcle physics lab
The Weak InteracLon in Astronomy!
Neutrinos, Core Collapse Supernovae, and Cosmology: -‐-‐ Time-‐of-‐flight neutrino mass measurements with SN
-‐-‐ Supernova neutrino burst detecLon on the “cheap”: charged and neutral currents with heavy nuclei as targets . . . and associated neutron detecLon OMNIS/LAND, Supernova Watch Network “A New Method for DetecLon of Distant Supernova Neutrino Bursts” D. B. Cline, T. Foshe, E.J. Fenyves, G. M. Fuller, B. S. Meyer, J. R. Wilson Astrophysical Le<ers and Communica>ons 27, 403 (1990)
-‐-‐ Neutrino mass, cosmology, FCNC, collecLve neutrino oscillaLons, the neutrino mass hierarchy, Dark Mader wonderful neutrino collaboraLons/scheming with David Cline Alex Kusenko, Peter Smith, Graciela Gelmini , many others + myself and our students -‐-‐ Sterile neutrinos: “Crap” . . . “Don’t believe it” . . . “InteresLng . . . wrong, but we need to take it seriously”
